Activate the Pressure Maintenance Hatch

The First Order has kidnapped Admiral Ackbar. Poe Dameron has been sent to rescue him. After breaking out of the detention level, the characters jumped down a garbage chute to escape from Captain Phasma and the stormtroopers. Now you must get them out of the trash compactor. Begin by moving from one pile of garbage to another. However, a dianoga in the water prevents your crossing. Break up the nearby object and then assemble the pieces of the Multi-Build into either object. After your build causes the dianoga to withdraw under the water, quickly cross over to the chamber’s right side.

Challenge: Sayonara Dianoga

This challenge requires you to use Multi-Builds four times to get the dianoga to go under the water. Each time, you must use a different build. In the first area, build one object and use it. Then break it up and build the second object. Later, when you must deal with the dianoga again, build two different objects with the Multi-Build. This earns the Gold Brick and unlocks the Gym Stormtrooper.

When you reach the chamber’s right side, use Poe’s grapple gun to pull on a hook to reveal a water access. Switch to Admiral Ackbar and jump into the water to find some bricks and assemble them into a rotary control switch.

Challenge: Load of Rubbish

There are three strange piles of rubbish spread throughout this level. They all have a stormtrooper helmet on top. Destroy them all to earn a Gold Brick and unlock the Hot Tub Stormtrooper.

Switch to BB-8 and use the rotary control switch to launch the droid across the chamber and onto a catwalk. Roll to the left and use the astromech terminal to activate the pressure maintenance hatch.

Minikit

After launching BB-8 onto the catwalk, and before going to the left, drop down from the catwalk and get the Minikit inside a cloud of toxic gas (the gas does not affect BB-8). Then roll back to the rotary control switch and launch again to continue.

Pull on the Handle

The trash compactor has moved, making the chamber smaller. As BB-8, roll to the top of the trash pile and use the small access hatch to move across the chamber to where the rest of the characters are located.

Several small dianogas attack. Defeat them all, and then use Poe’s grapple gun on the hook to break up pieces for a Multi-Build. Construct either object to deal with the larger dianoga. Both require BB-8 to power up the charge panel so you can get across the water to the center of the chamber.

Now switch to Admiral Ackbar and use the water access to get him to the chamber’s far side. Once there, walk up the pile of garbage and then jump and grab onto the handle to make the walls of the trash compactor move outwards and increase the size of the chamber.

Get C-3PO to the Protocol Droid Terminal

After fighting off some small dianogas, have Ackbar use the staff switch. Rotate the switch to raise a bridge out of the water so the rest of the group can get to this side of the chamber.

Minikit

After raising the bridge, find a stove on the lower part of the chambers. Switch to a character who can pull on the strength handles to get this Minikit.

Take control of BB-8 and use the rotary control switch on the chamber’s right side. This moves the walls a bit and also drops some bricks for a Multi-build in the middle of the area. You will need to build different objects to help C-3PO reach the catwalk where the protocol droid terminal is located. Assemble the pieces into a jump switch on the right. Then jump on the red button to activate a lift so C-3PO can get to the elevated walkway.

Break up the switch and then reassemble the pieces into a magnetic device in the center. This lowers the small draw bridge so C-3PO can walk across to the left.

Destroy the magnetic device and now assemble the pieces into a winch on the left side. This will lower a lift so C-3PO can walk onto it. Then destroy the winch to allow the lift to rise to the catwalk.

Take control of C-3PO and walk to the right. Use the protocol droid terminal and repeat the code back in order to open the hatch so you can escape from the trash compactor and complete the level.

Red Brick

(Infinite Torpedoes)

Before using C-3PO to activate the protocol droid terminal, switch to a character who can use the Force to pull a Red Brick down from the catwalk on the right side. The Red Brick is off-screen and you won’t see it until you move a Force user to that side of the catwalk.
